Murder of an Infant in the River Avon at Temple Backs
A newborn female infant was found in the river Avon at Temple Backs with a ligature around the neck and a brick to aid sinking. Police suspected Mrs Hobbs, a single woman living near the scene, who had recently appeared large then smaller, and a following room search yielded a cloth matching the neck wrap. The coroner directed a surgical exam and the jury ruled the infant stillborn, with Hobbs likely charged later for concealing birth.
